This volume provides a comprehensive, accessible introduction to
the Gospel of Mark, now widely considered the first recorded
treatment of Jesus. Darrell Bock explains how this text, once the
least-used gospel, came to be regarded as the starting point for
understanding Jesus. Drawing together previous arguments and
discussion in a constructive summary, he traces the significance of
Mark and addresses key features such as its cultural and historical
background, its narrative flow, and the role of Greek in supplying
meaning. This commentary highlights the issues Mark's gospel raises
and develops Mark's message surrounding Jesus' claims of kingdom
authority and salvation, the call to disciples to follow him, and
the preparation of those disciples to face suffering in light of
their choice. Mark will be a valuable resource for students,
teachers, and pastors alike.

This Synoptikon brings together the Synoptic Gospels, freshly
translated, comparing them with materials selected from previous
volumes in this series. The aim is to serve commentators who engage
the Gospels critically and with the awareness that a consideration
of their Judaic environments is crucial. Placing the texts within
that setting evokes particular streams of tradition that interacted
so as to produce the Gospels. These are set out in distinctive
typefaces, so that readers may assess the depth of the Synoptic
tradition as well as the breadth of its development.
Think Christianly is about seizing the opportunities we have every
day to speak the life Jesus offers into our culture. Tragically,
many such opportunities pass us by unclaimed---either because we
don't notice them or we have not prepared ourselves to enter into
them. And those around us seem to grow increasingly unwilling to
hear anything the church has to say. Jonathan Morrow helps church
leaders envision and implement ways for their congregations to
'think Christianly' about contemporary questions and to speak in
informed, engaging ways. Morrow explores many of the important
issues that Christians often hear raised with regard to
faith---questions about who Jesus was, the good and bad of
religion, pain and evil in the world, the reliability of the Bible,
sexuality and intimate relationships, and hope for change, among
others. The life and faith issues that Think Christianly addresses
lead to cultural moments where Christianity and contemporary
culture intersect. This book will help churches take vital steps
toward cultivating compassion and competence in speaking faithfully
to a questioning world.
